It's completely normal sweetheart, you're not a freak. When children are abused they often revert to younger or baby behaviors. They feel safe and comforting when nothing else can comfort you. I've heard dozens and dozens of girls using toys, blankets, bottles, and pacifiers/dummies. Let yourself have your bottle and teddy and things for a while. And if you have anyone who can care for you sometimes and make you feel safe, you'll be ok. You should grow out of it after some time. Meanwhile if you want, just stop by the safe room to have your baby time. PM me if you have any other questions too.

This thread might also make you feel a bit more normal:
